Light ornament made of shell by recyling artist Jan Vingerhoets
There is this artist …
His name is Jan Vingerhoets and lives in the ‘quaint artist village’ Baardskeerdersbos in the Western Cape. From scrap (car parts, geysers, thrown away furniture, etc,) he creates functional ornaments such as lights, chairs and even a clock. Jan has one purpose in life and that is repurpose. See for yourself.

Uplifting my ego
Just got a nice review of my photography:
“Herman van Bon has a remarkable eye for beauty and a quirky sense of humour. Both come through in his remarkable images.” – Jan Vingerhoets
That just makes my SUNday.

Will this be the future??? Although recycling artist Jan Vingerhoets from Baardskeerdersbos is fascinated by it.
Clockwork
South African sculptor Jan Vingerhoets has his background in the IT (Silicon Valley, USA, I believe) and that might be the reason that he went back to a kind of ‘primitive looking ornamental work’. His clockwork (at this moment exhibited in Art Thirst in Hermanus) is a good example of ‘ornate simplicity’. Photo made in his workshop in Baardskeerdersbos a few weeks ago.
